Obama speaks, wingnuts threaten to move to … Canada

President Obama addressed the nation moments ago, swatting down several lies by Romney’s brief statement earlier. Meanwhile, from the same poor misled saps that brought us “Keep your government hands off Medicare!” comes a new howler, demonstrating the real world consequences of complete ignorance.

On the heels of the SCOTUS decision, some angry conservatives are threatening to move to Canada. Presumably to escape socialized medicine. If you’re not sure why that’s hilarious, in the words of George Bush sr., just ask a Canadian … and we have a few Canadians responding below!

I can only assume they have heard liberals threatening to move to Canada if we don’t get what we want, and thought it was just an expression… and didn’t realize we meant it’s because, you know, Canada is more progressive…

Just another example of how ignorant Americans are of even countries just over the boarder who sort of speak English. Not only do they have tax supported health care, they require new residents to pay back up taxes if they plan on using any health services.

We here in Canada just want to point out that we have an extensive social safety net, socialized medicine and government over-site of our banks/insurance institutions. Our Capital Gains taxes are also much higher, as are taxes in general. It really sucks here and it’s also really cold. Igloos are expensive to maintain and the Polar Bears are dangerous during the 10 days of spring/summer when they have to eat enough to hibernate for 11 months again. Just say’n you might want to stay put, please. I hear France is nice?

Well, my one consolation is knowing that these chucklefucks are too stupid and ill-educated to actually be able to emigrate here. We’ve already got Harper and his gang of human skidmarks fucking everything up and killing the environment in the middle third of the country; we really don’t need more wingnuts.

I’m waiting until the right in this country descends so deep into madness that we see this same level of insanity in response to a routine spending bill that authorizes more money police and fire departments.

Then again, its also amusing to think of these people as making the rounds throughout the world reacting like this when their new country passes some kind of legislation they don’t like. Until they eventually end up in Somalia.

“We’ll take them, indoctrinate them all into good little commie soldiers, and then send them back to you!”

Fuck no! we’ll turn ’em into soldiers and send them to Afghanfrickingstan so OUR boys can come home (after eleven years)!!!
I don’t think they’d be any good as soldiers but they might make good sniper & IED fodder.

I would never wish this wingnuts on our highly valued neighbors to the north. If they want somewhere that entrepreneurism is valued, I suggest Russia, or somewhere else in the former Soviet Union. Money is their God, and they can toss their opponents in jail or a mental hospital. Just please, please, please, really far away from the rest of us.
